Now I'm sure many of you are in this situation. There is always this one game genre in which you've always hated, and can never stand. But then you find one game, and its perfect. From there, sometimes we can learn to appreciate the other games in that genre, or that game may simply be an outlier. What game did that for you? Take my example, I've never been a big fan of RPGs (still don't enjoy that many of them). I tried the elder scrolls, witcher, diablo, final fantasy, kingdom hearts, and many others. I just could never get into those franchises, and frankly haven't gotten into them since. But the game that got me into the genre was Mass Effect. It was enjoyable, had a great dialoge system, lots of choice, and you could do as much or as little exploration as you wanted. You could be mister nice guy, a total bastatd, or somewhere in between. The trilogy is amazing to play today, though the first is still my favourite. I give props to Bioware for making an RPG enjoyable for both people who usually don't go into the genre. 

 

So what game got you into a genre you hate (or still hate)? 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
